I apologise; I was at another meeting. The other evening, I met some cancer survivors who again raised the issue of the incessant battle they face getting medical cards. Does it remain a priority for the Irish Cancer Society? As TDs, we often need to write pretty miserable letters for people who have to repeatedly prove that their situation is woeful and that their outcome may not be great. What is the view of the Irish Cancer Society on that? Has it made a case to the Department of Health on it?
